I have very frequently, but sometimes 1 must take the river instead. Business is as imperative in the means of travelling sometimes, as in the time allowed for it. It was in obedience to this, that I found a magntficient river the short ride from Cincinnati to this place, a day or two sinee. What adaptable creatures we are, if it be to the necessity of circumstances. I suppose, if it bad been possible for me to get here by railroad, the two or three hours more time required by steamboat, would have made me miserable, with all its superior comforts.

Now in the innocenoe of my soul, I had supposed that nobody dare broach such a dangerous subject on the border. Why. didn t I know that northerners ere cowards and Southerners are brave fellows, just as leave put a bullet through you as not. Well I thought I knew all this, as well at anybody, and a good deal more. Bo yon would n t catch. me pet ting up a quarrel with these fellows from His-sunippi and Louisiana. Not I. But there were A few hot heads aboard, who thought they could ay wnat they pleated, in favor or the l nion, even on the Ohio River! Of course these Mis-si saippians, etc.. pitched in. The thing prom ised to be exciting. 1 closed my book first, then took my feet down from the guards, let my ohalr take its natural position, and finally forgot my oigar until I had no light. Coming slowly to the conclusion that I might become interested, I left my chair and approached the little knot of heads. It was amusing as well as serious. The crimi nations and recriminations which were passed, showed how much prejudice and lack of charity will do to establish hatred. The most out- ' rageous stories of cruelty to people from the South, said to have been oommitted even in Ohio, were related, and all quotations of a similar character from the riouth were denied. Sad stories were told of how men who sympathized even with the Rebels had been ducked, others tarred and feathered, and some were hung up. j and saved from liftman s exalted way of leaving men, who have souget this end ever since. And mark it, if this effort be not successful now, the United States must be as severe with the leaders as was Kng!and with ' Napoleon, for otherwise secession will raise its Medusa head and repeat this dreadful flowing of blood every de cade of years. This country is large, very large for one system of government. There are too many ambitious men to te satisfied, even by its rapidly changing of men on its political chessboard, lhe interests or the great sections can be made to appear different, and designing men, whose worn is ambition, can very easily teach the masses that four nations are better than one. Let the work be done now, if it can. There is no safety for the commonest property of the farmer or mechanic, except in the pre servation of this government intact. Let not the dreadful history of the South American Republic be repeated in this heretofore most prosperous and heaven favored land on the globe. But I for ire t. I did not sav all this, though it was said, and it seemed to surprise some of our Southern friends. For in it they saw the dreadful lesson taught here, that they were teaching their children of the loll. It is a fight for home, happiness and prosperity as much here, as the deluded sons of the South bad been taught to believe it is for them. How dreadfully will they feel the mistake when they are amid anarchy and ruin, if they succeed in establishing their vaguely defined government. The oeaoeful banks of the t'bio with their How in ir corn and vine olad hills, their neat farm houses, and groaning orchards, listened to this fearful canvass 01 war and hioouehed, impoverishing the homes of freemen, and as I begun to wander among their peaceful homes, I wondered what they were doing in the midst of all this.

Any one who saw the scene could not but feel that Gen. McDowell knew the men he was addressing; that he felt that they were his own old, true and tried soldiers on whom he could rely. Well did the regulars respond to the call of their General, they ran forward in good order till they got near the top of the hill, there they squatted down, when they got orders to fire the first row advanced to the top of the hill, took a deliberate aim, fired, and then fell back to the hollow to load, thus firing at the highest point and loading at the lowest, they continued like a revolving wheel. I saw one of them stand right up on the top of the hill and 'ake-i- iteaim, the man or object at which h- wa tiring seemed to have got out of his sight, 'he regular t-ok his musket from bis shoulder, luokeU all around, aimed again and fired in an another direction. On one occasion the grape and canister were coming so fast that the regulars tell inclined to retreat; then one of their captains or lieu tenants stepped in front of the men.pulled'out his sword and drew it before the men s faces to right and left several times. He would not let them retreat, so down they stooped in their places, thereby teaching them they must not choose their own time to retreat; that they were to remain till they got orders to retreat.

"I am tired of conventionalities! I will have one day of genuine fun," 1 SAid. "I am going to see my cousin Hepsy, at Chestnut Corner, and have a flirtation with her beaux in real rustic style. I shall wear my flamingred-and-black plaid dress, with black velvet bows in my hair, and I shall not be A bit too fine for any kind of romping," "Well, my dear, this Is Hallow Eve, a great time for flirting in the country, and made much of in your uncle s house. Have your play out, and come back refreshed." 80 I dropped down apon my cousins one bright October day, They were a jovial set, and quite ready to respond to my wishes for "genuine fun." Before afternoon a nutting party was got up, and a vigorous time we had of it! But it is with tbe evening that I have to do now. The youths of the nutting party all went home to supper, having horses and cattle to feed, or sheep to fold. Bat they promised to return in an hour or so. and we were to have the usual festivities of the night roasting I chestnuts, eating apples, and trying our future fate by the oandle conjuration and story telling.The roaring wood fire danced up the chimney from tho epan-cle&a kitchon hearth, and about seven o'clock we were all assembled about it. In tbe corner, to the right, sat dear old uncle, and in the opposite one his merry wife.. Next to him I came, being tbe honored guest on this occasion. Then Hiram Hasher "my beaux," the girls called him, from his being so attentive to me all the afternoon that I could hardly gather a nut without his interference. Next to Hiram came Sully Nixon, then her beaux, and so on alternately, until the half circle ended with my aunt. Firelight never danced on blither features. ' First let s pop some corn," was the cry, and it was done. ''There's suthia' else I'd like to pop," whispered Hiram. 'What?'' said I, innocently. "The question if you 11 eay yes,' to it '' I noticed that this joke was whispered Into several other ears, and I began to suspect that the com was called for principally to introduce it. Country folks do get so attached to an old joke! They soorn a new one as they do a new theory in agriculture. When each girl had a lapful, and each youth a pocket of corn to munch, we proceeded to the chestnut roasting. A shovel with a long handle was brought. It was one my uncle had made for the purpose, for he stoutly upheld the old time games, aud he now placed it over the tire with a seaious earnestness that was very ed to companies at his pleasure, The non-commissioned staff wilt be selected by the Colonel from the non-oom missioned ' officers and privates of the Regiment, and the vacancies so created will be filled by appoint-1 ment, as is prescribed above.

On receipt of the roll, the offieeri will be ap pointed and nounea, wnertupu ue company Bull Run, but General McDowell, in his offioial report, speaks only of a "battalllon of regulars. ' As I was camped beside these regulars for weeks before the battle, I know how many there were. There were simply eight companies in all, taking out of, the 3d, Jd, and 8th Regiments, and a few companies of the marines, making about 1,200 men in alt, which make up tho 10,000 thesecessionists claim to have repulsed. Had there been 10,000 regulars there that day It would hare been a sorry day for thesecessionists. As one who witnessed some of the gallant deeds of the regulars in that nard-rought bat tie, I will relate one or two things which occurred. The regulars were standing In beauti ful order, awaiting orders to advance and fire trom a bill, lie to re going up along the line, waving bis addressed the men in these fear nothing; tho enemy are them now; onward, onward. Ae he spoke Be'nered, chestnuts, and my ancle called upon me to name them. 80 I said, "let the little one be Lizxie Brown, and the large one Nathan Wild-ing." These two were the most evident lovere of the party. The shovel grew hot. We watched in breathless interest. The little chestnut. named Liitie, began to sing and glide about. It fairly danced at length, around and around the motionless large one, while we shouted with laughter to see the demure Linyo re present a-tive paying such frolicsome court to Nathan e. He, poor fellow, blushed and felt quite ashamed of his proxy. Presently, however, the steam from the large chestnut went off like a gun, and the little one seemed so Alarmed that it sprang into the fire. "There you have got the mitten, Nathel" cried the young men, delighted. "Not" said Nathan, in a disappointed, deprecating tone. Just then Nathan a nut began to dance more vigorously, and at last edged itself on into me nre aiso.

But my exultation was short lived, for to my horror, tur. iurm inrnea to me, wusniug to the ears, "It it II it's the custom! I didn't mean to offend.'1 So I luughed like the rest, and two more chestnuts were put on the shovel. An hour passea in this amusement, and then came the time for the stories. My uncle told one about the war of 1812, my aunt one of witches, and one about Saratoga, it being called for by Hepsy, who knew it ot old and then we sang songs. "The Mistletoe Rough, and "The Rose of AllandaV "Widow Machree,' and others in thecomio line. Then we wound up with "Uncle Ned," and "Old Foika at Home," in four parts, which eel my uncle to wiping his specs. ten the party broke up, but then came the business of tho evening for some of us. nepsy ana 1, who ail belonged to the family for the time, retired to the dark, dreary parlor. We were each to stand before the' mantel-piece, with a sheet wrapped around us, and a candle in our hand, into which pius had been stuck to mark the hours. It woe now ten. As the pins marking twelve dropped out, our future husbands were to walk in, provided we had neither laughed nor spoken one word. I did it for a frolic, but the other two girls believed implicitly. Standing and looking at their earnest faces, I could not help laughing, it was impossible to belp it. My candle shook in my hand, and at lost I gave wav. Sol waa disqualified; but as I knew my friends were trembling with fright, I did not leave them, and continued to hold my light I, having no hopes from the experiment, found it most intolerably dull work, standing there in the cold; but they seemed buoyed up by excitement.-We all three watched our caudles eagerly, and I could not blip wishing some charitable draught would put them out, and end the spell. I knew nothing would come of waiting, but not to have the laugh against me for a coward, I rayed fortunately. Two mortal hours dragged themselves by. Then my pin dropped, but the hall clock had not yet etruok twelve. Hepsy's pin fell. Then the clock began. It was the critical time, and I think three paler faces never listened to twelve tedious strokes. At the lost olang, Lizzy s pin fell, and the door swung open. Standing there opposite to us, In the dark passage, were three tall figures, like ourselves in white, each holding the sheet over Its face with the hand. With ghastly cheeks and dilating eyes, we reflected our lights and moved occasionally. After some moments of hesitation, still maintaining silence, I beckoned the girls to approach with me. But they shrank back, and it took violent persuasive pantomime to induce them to accompany me. At last they came. In advancing. 1 looked sharply, for I wanted to manage not to take the wrong spectre, and disappoint either of their lovers. 1 recognized Nathan and Hepsy's friend; the third i absolutely could not guess, lt certainly was not Hiram. 1 was now trembling as much as any of the others, and fell back a little, I did not wish to rush upon my fate in the shape before me. The girls came W a run stop too. Btiu the figures were like s at. ues, and we three stood directly before tie a with ourfcandles. 1 took courage, and signified hy motions that we mnst pull the white clothes from the hidden faces simultaneously. We advanced, and each took up a corner of the aheets. Now I began to perceive a smothered round, and a certain shaking of the garments, which convinoed me that these ghosts laughed carnal laughs; so giving the signal bravely, we pulled r attempted to. The sheets fell, coats and boots appeared, weeaught uuv guijav ui mrce ice, qmcK witn merriment, before our candles were dashed from our hands, and we were left for an instant in darkness, amid shouts of laughter from my uncle and aunt in the background. I don t know what the others did, but my ghoBt held my hand meanwhile, and seemed to take great satisfaction in the feel of flesh and blood. If I n guess by the way he pressed It. And after the peep I had of ite faoe I did not object. My aunt came forward with candles, and the spectres tied before her, slamming tbe front door after them, as if they bad been caried off in a whirlwind. But who, you ask, woe my spiritual visitor? It was of much import to me, dear reader, but it is little to you. To this day I have not found out how he got t here, bat I gvnt thai cousin John took the trouble to go up to the city for him, en purpose to have the joke complete. What will not those energetic country lads do for a frolic!

Now in the innocenoe of my soul, I had supposed that nobody dare broach such a dangerous subject on the border. Why. didn t I know that northerners ere cowards and Southerners are brave fellows, just as leave put a bullet through you as not. Well I thought I knew all this, as well at anybody, and a good deal more. Bo yon would n t catch. me pet ting up a quarrel with these fellows from His-sunippi and Louisiana. Not I. But there were A few hot heads aboard, who thought they could ay wnat they pleated, in favor or the l nion, even on the Ohio River! Of course these Mis-si saippians, etc.. pitched in. The thing prom ised to be exciting. 1 closed my book first, then took my feet down from the guards, let my ohalr take its natural position, and finally forgot my oigar until I had no light. Coming slowly to the conclusion that I might become interested, I left my chair and approached the little knot of heads. It was amusing as well as serious. The crimi nations and recriminations which were passed, showed how much prejudice and lack of charity will do to establish hatred. The most out- ' rageous stories of cruelty to people from the South, said to have been oommitted even in Ohio, were related, and all quotations of a similar character from the riouth were denied. Sad stories were told of how men who sympathized even with the Rebels had been ducked, others tarred and feathered, and some were hung up. j and saved from liftman s exalted way of leaving men, who have souget this end ever since. And mark it, if this effort be not successful now, the United States must be as severe with the leaders as was Kng!and with ' Napoleon, for otherwise secession will raise its Medusa head and repeat this dreadful flowing of blood every de cade of years. This country is large, very large for one system of government. There are too many ambitious men to te satisfied, even by its rapidly changing of men on its political chessboard, lhe interests or the great sections can be made to appear different, and designing men, whose worn is ambition, can very easily teach the masses that four nations are better than one. Let the work be done now, if it can. There is no safety for the commonest property of the farmer or mechanic, except in the pre servation of this government intact. Let not the dreadful history of the South American Republic be repeated in this heretofore most prosperous and heaven favored land on the globe. But I for ire t. I did not sav all this, though it was said, and it seemed to surprise some of our Southern friends. For in it they saw the dreadful lesson taught here, that they were teaching their children of the loll. It is a fight for home, happiness and prosperity as much here, as the deluded sons of the South bad been taught to believe it is for them. How dreadfully will they feel the mistake when they are amid anarchy and ruin, if they succeed in establishing their vaguely defined government. The oeaoeful banks of the t'bio with their How in ir corn and vine olad hills, their neat farm houses, and groaning orchards, listened to this fearful canvass 01 war and hioouehed, impoverishing the homes of freemen, and as I begun to wander among their peaceful homes, I wondered what they were doing in the midst of all this.

Before afternoon a nutting party was got up, and a vigorous time we had of it! But it is with tbe evening that I have to do now. The youths of the nutting party all went home to supper, having horses and cattle to feed, or sheep to fold. Bat they promised to return in an hour or so. and we were to have the usual festivities of the night roasting I chestnuts, eating apples, and trying our future fate by the oandle conjuration and story telling.The roaring wood fire danced up the chimney from tho epan-cle&a kitchon hearth, and about seven o'clock we were all assembled about it. In tbe corner, to the right, sat dear old uncle, and in the opposite one his merry wife.. Next to him I came, being tbe honored guest on this occasion. Then Hiram Hasher "my beaux," the girls called him, from his being so attentive to me all the afternoon that I could hardly gather a nut without his interference. Next to Hiram came Sully Nixon, then her beaux, and so on alternately, until the half circle ended with my aunt. Firelight never danced on blither features. ' First let s pop some corn," was the cry, and it was done. ''There's suthia' else I'd like to pop," whispered Hiram. 'What?'' said I, innocently. "The question if you 11 eay yes,' to it '' I noticed that this joke was whispered Into several other ears, and I began to suspect that the com was called for principally to introduce it. Country folks do get so attached to an old joke! They soorn a new one as they do a new theory in agriculture. When each girl had a lapful, and each youth a pocket of corn to munch, we proceeded to the chestnut roasting. A shovel with a long handle was brought. It was one my uncle had made for the purpose, for he stoutly upheld the old time games, aud he now placed it over the tire with a seaious earnestness that was very ed to companies at his pleasure, The non-commissioned staff wilt be selected by the Colonel from the non-oom missioned ' officers and privates of the Regiment, and the vacancies so created will be filled by appoint-1 ment, as is prescribed above.

' As I was camped beside these regulars for weeks before the battle, I know how many there were. There were simply eight companies in all, taking out of, the 3d, Jd, and 8th Regiments, and a few companies of the marines, making about 1,200 men in alt, which make up tho 10,000 thesecessionists claim to have repulsed. Had there been 10,000 regulars there that day It would hare been a sorry day for thesecessionists. As one who witnessed some of the gallant deeds of the regulars in that nard-rought bat tie, I will relate one or two things which occurred. The regulars were standing In beauti ful order, awaiting orders to advance and fire trom a bill, lie to re going up along the line, waving bis addressed the men in these fear nothing; tho enemy are them now; onward, onward. Ae he spoke Be'nered, chestnuts, and my ancle called upon me to name them. 80 I said, "let the little one be Lizxie Brown, and the large one Nathan Wild-ing." These two were the most evident lovere of the party. The shovel grew hot. We watched in breathless interest. The little chestnut. named Liitie, began to sing and glide about. It fairly danced at length, around and around the motionless large one, while we shouted with laughter to see the demure Linyo re present a-tive paying such frolicsome court to Nathan e. He, poor fellow, blushed and felt quite ashamed of his proxy. Presently, however, the steam from the large chestnut went off like a gun, and the little one seemed so Alarmed that it sprang into the fire. "There you have got the mitten, Nathel" cried the young men, delighted. "Not" said Nathan, in a disappointed, deprecating tone. Just then Nathan a nut began to dance more vigorously, and at last edged itself on into me nre aiso. "There, I thought I'd do that." ia:d he. hitrh. ly gratified, and looking; around proudly. -luougut tu ucr uor, D(i not 06 BUCh a sneak as to give up so!" 1 wo more were eaued for, end named "Hiram Hasher and the city girl."

But my exultation was short lived, for to my horror, tur. iurm inrnea to me, wusniug to the ears, "It it II it's the custom! I didn't mean to offend.'1 So I luughed like the rest, and two more chestnuts were put on the shovel. An hour passea in this amusement, and then came the time for the stories. My uncle told one about the war of 1812, my aunt one of witches, and one about Saratoga, it being called for by Hepsy, who knew it ot old and then we sang songs. "The Mistletoe Rough, and "The Rose of AllandaV "Widow Machree,' and others in thecomio line. Then we wound up with "Uncle Ned," and "Old Foika at Home," in four parts, which eel my uncle to wiping his specs. ten the party broke up, but then came the business of tho evening for some of us. nepsy ana 1, who ail belonged to the family for the time, retired to the dark, dreary parlor. We were each to stand before the' mantel-piece, with a sheet wrapped around us, and a candle in our hand, into which pius had been stuck to mark the hours. It woe now ten. As the pins marking twelve dropped out, our future husbands were to walk in, provided we had neither laughed nor spoken one word. I did it for a frolic, but the other two girls believed implicitly. Standing and looking at their earnest faces, I could not help laughing, it was impossible to belp it. My candle shook in my hand, and at lost I gave wav. Sol waa disqualified; but as I knew my friends were trembling with fright, I did not leave them, and continued to hold my light I, having no hopes from the experiment, found it most intolerably dull work, standing there in the cold; but they seemed buoyed up by excitement.-We all three watched our caudles eagerly, and I could not blip wishing some charitable draught would put them out, and end the spell. I knew nothing would come of waiting, but not to have the laugh against me for a coward, I rayed fortunately. Two mortal hours dragged themselves by. Then my pin dropped, but the hall clock had not yet etruok twelve. Hepsy's pin fell. Then the clock began. It was the critical time, and I think three paler faces never listened to twelve tedious strokes. At the lost olang, Lizzy s pin fell, and the door swung open. Standing there opposite to us, In the dark passage, were three tall figures, like ourselves in white, each holding the sheet over Its face with the hand. With ghastly cheeks and dilating eyes, we reflected our lights and moved occasionally. After some moments of hesitation, still maintaining silence, I beckoned the girls to approach with me. But they shrank back, and it took violent persuasive pantomime to induce them to accompany me. At last they came. In advancing. 1 looked sharply, for I wanted to manage not to take the wrong spectre, and disappoint either of their lovers. 1 recognized Nathan and Hepsy's friend; the third i absolutely could not guess, lt certainly was not Hiram. 1 was now trembling as much as any of the others, and fell back a little, I did not wish to rush upon my fate in the shape before me. The girls came W a run stop too. Btiu the figures were like s at. ues, and we three stood directly before tie a with ourfcandles. 1 took courage, and signified hy motions that we mnst pull the white clothes from the hidden faces simultaneously. We advanced, and each took up a corner of the aheets. Now I began to perceive a smothered round, and a certain shaking of the garments, which convinoed me that these ghosts laughed carnal laughs; so giving the signal bravely, we pulled r attempted to. The sheets fell, coats and boots appeared, weeaught uuv guijav ui mrce ice, qmcK witn merriment, before our candles were dashed from our hands, and we were left for an instant in darkness, amid shouts of laughter from my uncle and aunt in the background. I don t know what the others did, but my ghoBt held my hand meanwhile, and seemed to take great satisfaction in the feel of flesh and blood. If I n guess by the way he pressed It. And after the peep I had of ite faoe I did not object. My aunt came forward with candles, and the spectres tied before her, slamming tbe front door after them, as if they bad been caried off in a whirlwind. But who, you ask, woe my spiritual visitor? It was of much import to me, dear reader, but it is little to you. To this day I have not found out how he got t here, bat I gvnt thai cousin John took the trouble to go up to the city for him, en purpose to have the joke complete. What will not those energetic country lads do for a frolic!

Since the battle of Manassas the utmost demoralisation and disorganisation among the army and financial distress among the people generally have existed. The eity was filled with men and women from the more distant statee hunting Information of relatives information which, owing to the secresy maintained by the government, they could not obtain. No report of the killed and wounded had been made up, nor was it likely that any ever would be.

These complaints and the financial troubles of ths government were having their effect; and learning of a scheme It bad on hand, Mr. Hewett telegraphed to Richard Atkinson, of this city, his agent, to write by the first steamer to the house in Liverpool to sell all the cotton on hand at existing rates at soon as possible.
